SYMPTOMS

When you try to view a Web site that is hosted on a server that is running Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:
Server Error in Application " Application Name "HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
HRESULT: 0x80070032
Description of HRESULT: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and is not allowed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • The file exists in the requested location.
  • The file name extension for the file does not have an application mapping that is configured on the Web site.
  • The MIME type is not configured for the Web site or for the application.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, create an application mapping for the file name extension, and then configure a MIME type for the Web site or for the application. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Create an application mapping for the file name extension. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Do one of the following tasks:
      • Click Start, click Run, type inetmgr.exe, and then press ENTER.
      • Click Start, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

    4. On the Home Directory tab, click Configuration.
    5. On the Mapping tab, click Add.
    6. In the Add/Edit Application Extension Mapping dialog box, configure an application extension for the file name extension that causes the error, and then click OK four times.
  2. Configure a MIME type for the Web site or for the application. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Do one of the following tasks:
      • Click Start, click Run, type inetmgr.exe, and then press ENTER.
      • Click Start, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
    2. Expand the server that you want, and then expand Web Sites.
    3. Right-click the Web site that you want, and then click Properties.
